Medical Malpractice Attorneys - Surgery Malpractice

in Denver and Aurora, Colorado

Surgery of any kind brings certain risks. It is also often complicated. And, unfortunately, mistakes can be made, either by the surgeon or by others involved with the surgery, such as by those administering anesthesia, or by those having other responsibilities. Of all medical malpractice cases, surgical mistakes are among the most common. But not all bad surgical outcomes are the result of negligence.

Establishing negligence

Negligence is the failure on the part of the medical professional to act within the guidelines for standard and reasonable medical care. Proving negligence can be challenging in some instances. It requires a thorough understanding of medical procedures, and expert testimony from professionals.

Some relatively common surgical and surgical related errors are:

• Injury to an organ or tissue that should not have been injured
• Misadministration of anesthesia
• Inadequate monitoring of the patient under anesthesia
• Nerve damage incidental to the surgery
• Erroneous amputation
• A delay in diagnosing a post-surgical infection

Negligence is the determining factor in a medical malpractice case. Without negligence, the surgical error may not be medical malpractice, but just a known and accepted risk or complication that was unfortunate, even tragic, but not open to legal redress.
